Jax

I can't believe he is two!!!! I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday. He is such a big boy these days. We had a party for him at Fun Junction on Saturday. He had a great time bouncing and eating cupcakes. Words: He can repeat anything you ask him to...although you may not understand everything he says. Some of my favorite things he says now are: Dax (Jax), RoRo, Threese (for my mom - he started this after hearing my dad holler "Threese, Manda's on the phone," bah ball (basketball), bah bus (school bus), church, john deere. He went for his first dentist appointment in December. Somehow they were able to actually clean his teeth...miracle of miracles! He was quite the entertainer in the waiting room. In fact, I almost took him home before they ever called us back. He loves boxing. That's why Santa brought him his very own punching bag and gloves, of course. Santa must have known that he's been boxing our couch, chair, our backs, our legs.....

Growing Ronin!

Ro's had a lot of firsts!!! Ronin started rolling in December. I can hardly believe it because he's rarely laying down when he's not swadled. That boy loves to be wrapped up. But he breaks free from it a lot more now. I've got to catch it on video! He also started holding toys and really noticing his hands. Sometimes he'll just stare at them. Most of the time he tries to eat them. This results in him being covered in drool. I wouldn't be surprised if a tooth pops through pretty soon. He also took his pacifier out of his mouth and put it back in a few times. Most of the time he just takes it out so he can put his fingers or fist in instead. He's may be teething with all of his drooling and hand sucking he does! He's even made a hickey on his hand! He also started eating cereal, and did quite well. I will start him on veggies next week after his 4 month appt. And he's been getting in his jumper and bumbo too! I...

Christmas Week

I can't believe I'm so late blogging, but we had a great Christmas this year. We started out on the Monday before Christmas... Rafael who has been doing our carpentry work had his family flying in from Mexico. We had barbecue , and gave them gifts. They couldn't speak any English, so I really had to work hard to use the Spanish words that I remembered. It was very nice, and we enjoyed introducing the kids (6 and 12 years old) to the PS3 and Big Red. Tuesday night, we all went to Karen's to have Christmas with Lisa's family. It was great to see Adam who I only get to see a few times a year. Here is Lisa with the kids: Harlee Kate, Ro , Zach, Jax Wednsday night, we packed up and went to Karen's to spend the night. Christmas Eve is my absolute favorite day of the year, and I look forward to it all year long!!! It was different this year because we always stay with my parents. But since they haven't started building their house yet, Karen volunteered to hos...
